Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric To Be RE's Most Powerful Bike: Report
Based on Zigwheels' report, the Royal Enfield Himalayan electric will come with a 14 kWh battery pack. Along with it, the brand is going to offer an onboard charger. To add perspective, the Ultraviolette F77 comes with a 10.3 kWh battery pack. The power from the battery is transferred to an electric motor sourced from Stark. It is to be noted that RE has a stake in the brand.

The power-producing unit has an output of 74.5 kW, which is 100 hp of power, as per the report. If this remains the case when the motorcycle lands on the production line, it will be the most powerful motorcycle with the Royal Enfield badge. This will make the motorcycle capable of breaching the 120 kmph mark. There is no information on the range of the motorcycle. However, expectations are that the bike will offer something around 200-250 km. The power produced by the motor can be tweaked depending on the rider's need via four modes: Zen, Off-Road, Tour, and Rally. More details on the machine are yet to come.
Appearance-wise, the Royal Enfield Himalayan electric will have similarities with the 450 cc ICE version of the bike. However, there will be changes because of the electric powertrain. The cycle parts will also likely be different compared to the ICE version. Furthermore, it is expected to come packed with more features.

Recharging the old: How retrofitting can help improve green mobility
Unlike new EV purchases, which remain unaffordable for many low-income users and small fleet operators, retrofitting leverages existing assets Business Standard Editorial Comment Mumbai Listen to This Article India's push towards green mobility has so far focused heavily on incentivising new electric-vehicle (EV) purchases. But a parallel, and potentially faster, route is emerging: Retrofitting existing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to turn them into EVs. Bengaluru-based SUN Mobility's recent entry into converting ICE scooters into EVs at an average cost of ₹30,000 marks a significant milestone in this alternative strategy. It offers a viable, cost-effective pathway to bring millions into the EV ecosystem without waiting for complete vehicle-replacement cycles. With over 200 million ICE two-wheelers and more than 10 million ICE three-wheelers on Indian roads, the potential for

Trump's big bill powering his mass deportations, Congress starting to ask questions
President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan visited Capitol Hill just weeks after Inauguration Day, with other administration officials and a singular message: They needed money for the White House's border security and mass deportation agenda. By summer, Congress delivered.

Homeland Security confirmed over the weekend ICE is working to set up detention sites at certain military bases. "We're getting them out at record numbers," Trump said at the White House bill signing ceremony. "We have an obligation to, and we're doing it." Live Events Money flows, and so do questions The crush of new money is setting off alarms in Congress and beyond, raising questions from lawmakers in both major political parties who are expected to provide oversight. The bill text provided general funding categories - almost USD 30 billion for ICE officers, USD 45 billion for detention facilities, $10 billion for the office of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem - but few policy details or directives. Homeland Security recently announced $50,000 ICE hiring bonuses. And it's not just the big bill's fresh infusion of funds fuelling the president's agenda of 1 million deportations a year. In the months since Trump took office, his administration has been shifting as much as USD1 billion from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other accounts to pay for immigration enforcement and deportation operations, lawmakers said. "Your agency is out of control," Sen Chris Murphy, D-Conn., told Noem during a Senate committee hearing in the spring. The senator warned that Homeland Security would "go broke" by July. Noem quickly responded that she always lives within her budget. But Murphy said later in a letter to Homeland Security, objecting to its repurposing funds, that ICE was being directed to spend at an "indefensible and unsustainable rate to build a mass deportation army," often without approval from Congress. This past week, the new Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep Andrew Garbarino of New York, along with a subcommittee chairman, Rep. Michael Guest of Mississippi, requested a briefing from Noem on the border security components of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act , or OBBBA, which included USD 46 billion over the next four years for Trump's long-sought US-Mexico border wall . "We write today to understand how the Department plans to outlay this funding to deliver a strong and secure homeland for years to come," the GOP lawmakers said in a letter to the homeland security secretary, noting border apprehensions are at record lows. "We respectfully request that you provide Committee staff with a briefing on the Department's plan to disburse OBBBA funding," they wrote, seeking a response by Aug 22. Deportations move deep into communities All together, it's what observers on and off Capitol Hill see as a fundamental shift in immigration policy - enabling DHS to reach far beyond the US southern border and deep into communities to conduct raids and stand up detention facilities as holding camps for immigrants. The Defence Department, the Internal Revenue Service and other agencies are being enlisted in what Kathleen Bush-Joseph, an analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, calls a "whole of government" approach. "They're orienting this huge shift," Bush-Joseph said, as deportation enforcement moves "inward." The flood of cash comes when Americans' views on immigration are shifting. Polling showed 79 per cent of US adults say immigration is a "good thing" for the country, having jumped substantially from 64 per cent a year ago, according to Gallup. Only about 2 in 10 US adults say immigration is a bad thing right now. At the same time, Trump's approval rating on immigration has slipped. According to a July AP-NORC poll, 43 per cent of US adults said they approved of his handling of immigration, down slightly from 49 per cent in March. A new era of detention centres Detention centres are being stood up, from "Alligator Alcatraz" in Florida to the repurposed federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, and the proposed new "Speedway Slammer" in Indiana. Flights are ferrying migrants not just home or to El Salvador's notorious mega-prison but far away to Africa and beyond. Homan has insisted in recent interviews those being detained and deported are the "worst of the worst," and he dismissed as "garbage" the reports showing many of those being removed have not committed violations beyond their irregular immigration status. "There's no safe haven here," Homan said recently outside the White House. "We're going to do exactly what President Trump has promised the American people he'd do."
